Join us for a cap­ti­vat­ing explo­ration of cul­ture and iden­ti­ty with Jew­ti­na y Co., fea­tur­ing acclaimed authors Jor­dan Sala­ma and Ilan Sta­vans at the JCC Man­hat­tan on Tues­day, Octo­ber 22nd at 6:30 PM ET. These remark­able sto­ry­tellers will share insights into their cre­ative process­es and how their Latin Amer­i­can and Jew­ish her­itage has pro­found­ly influ­enced their writ­ing. From Sta­vans’ schol­ar­ly work on Jew­ish Mex­i­can cul­ture to Sala­ma’s jour­nal­is­tic adven­tures across the Amer­i­c­as, dis­cov­er how they nav­i­gate the intri­cate tapes­try of their dual iden­ti­ties through literature.

This evening promis­es a rich dis­cus­sion on the art of sto­ry­telling, the pow­er of cul­tur­al fusion, and the role of per­son­al his­to­ry in shap­ing nar­ra­tive voic­es. Come pre­pared to engage, ask ques­tions, and per­haps share your own expe­ri­ences of strad­dling mul­ti­ple cul­tur­al worlds. Whether you’re a writer, a lover of diverse lit­er­a­ture, or sim­ply curi­ous about the Latin Jew­ish expe­ri­ence, this event offers a unique oppor­tu­ni­ty to explore the inter­sec­tion of her­itage and cre­ativ­i­ty. Don’t miss this chance to be part of an inspir­ing con­ver­sa­tion about iden­ti­ty, writ­ing, and the sto­ries that con­nect us all.
